Since the 2019 NFL season ended, and even before then, mock drafts have been put out by analysts and media members just about every week. They’ve fluctuated significantly over the last three months, with the only consistent projections being Joe Burrow to the Bengals and Chase Young to the Redskins with the first two picks.
The Rams haven’t been included it most mock drafts because they don’t have a first-round pick, but in the last couple of weeks, there has been an influx of multi-round projections that feature the Rams.
And with the team holding two picks in each of the second and third rounds, things could get really interesting for Los Angeles.
We’ve rounded up the latest mock drafts from writers across the internet, including Luke Easterling of Draft Wire and ESPN’s Mel Kiper. While there are a few players mocked to the Rams by multiple analysts, there’s a wide range of prospects being projected to Los Angeles.

Here are the players mocked to the Rams by multiple analysts in the projections above:
- LB Jordyn Brooks, Texas Tech (twice)
- LB Malik Harrison, Ohio State (twice)
- C Matt Hennessy, Temple (twice)
- WR Tee Higgins, Clemson (twice)
Every mock draft except for two has the Rams taking an offensive lineman with one of their first two picks. And only two mock drafts have them double-dipping on one side of the ball in the second round.
So the feeling most analysts get is that the Rams will split offense and defense with their first two picks. After that, it’s a bit less certain.
No one mocked a safety to the Rams before the seventh round, even though it’s an underrated need due to their lack of depth behind their starters. Kiper was the only one to give the Rams a running back, too, sending them Clyde Edwards-Helaire in Round 2.
This list is an example of how unpredictable the draft is, and while it’s fun to read and simulate mock drafts, no one truly knows what will happen this weekend.
